How to open TFWX file?
An often recurring problem with ArcGIS Approximate Affine Transformation is that TFWX is not associated with the correct program file. Thus, when you open TFWX, the program selection wizard or some other program starts. This problem can be easily remedied.
The first thing you should do is just "doubleclick" on the TFWX file icon you want to open. If the operating system has an appropriate application to support it and there is also an association between the file and the program, the file should be opened.
Step 1. Install ArcGIS Desktop
An often overlooked issue is to make sure that ArcGIS Desktop is installed on the computer. To do this, enter the name ArcGIS Desktop into the system search engine. In the absence of an appropriate program, its installation in the vast majority of cases will fix the problem. Below is a list of programs that support the file TFWX.
Programs to open TFWX file
Remember to download programs supporting TFWX files only from verified and safe sources. We suggest using the websites of software developers.
Step 2. Create association of ArcGIS Desktop with TFWX files
However, it may happen that the application itself does not cause the TFWX file to open in the ArcGIS Desktop application, but you can set it manually. It is most convenient to call the context menu with the right mouse button and select Properties. The displayed window will contain information about the program that supports this type of file. Using the "Change" button we can select the desired program. The program should be visible in the window, otherwise it should be selected manually using the "Browse" button and the program installation directory should be indicated. The "always use the selected program ..." field will set the ArcGIS Desktop application as the default for handling the TFWX file.
Step 3. Update ArcGIS Desktop to the latest version
If, despite the association of the ArcGIS Desktop program with the ArcGIS Approximate Affine Transformation file, the file still does not open, check the program version and possibly update it to the newest version. In this case, use the Esri website or update the program from the application.
Step 4. Check for the following problems with the TFWX file
If the above steps do not help, you can assume that the file itself is not correct. This could be due to the file itself, the cleanest issues are:
Very often, the file may be size 0 or incomplete. Usually this applies to TFWX files downloaded from the Internet in case the download did not finish properly. The file should be downloaded again, making sure that the process has finished correctly.
The most common cause here is computer viruses. A virus scan using an up-to-date antivirus program should fix the problem. If this is not possible, you can use the online scanner. For the best results, we will scan the entire operating system, not just our TFWX file. As a result of the scan, sometimes it is not possible to recover TFWX files, which are deleted if there is a backup of this file, then after restoring it, it must also be scanned.
A typical compatibility error - the program does not support the older version of the TFWX file. On their websites, developers usually offer free solutions to such problems, e.g. in the form of a conversion program or an older version of the program.
There can be many reasons for this. Repairing is very dependent on the file type. Sometimes the program itself has options to repair the most popular TFWX file corruption. You can restore the file from a backup or use Esri help.
The program indicates that the file is encrypted or corrupted. The encrypted TFWX files can be used by the device on which they were encrypted, on any other device it is required to have the appropriate cryptographic key and decrypt the file before its recovery.
The operating system protects files in some locations (e.g. the root of the system partition) against unauthorized access. While there is usually no problem reading such a file, it may not be possible to save it. Copying the TFWX file to another location will fix the problem.
This problem usually affects more complex files. You may find that another program you are using is preventing you from working with the file. Running programs (including those in the background) should be verified. Sometimes you have to wait for the session to the file TFWX to close. Some anti-virus or backup software may occupy the TFWX file for a certain period of time. If this does not work either, restart the device.
